Sure, that would be fine. However, dealing with all of the forms that the expression can take is a nightmare that the `::Emit*Expr` all ready deal with. I don't think it's as simple as "find the GEP of the FAM and then replace the indices with that of the `counted_by` field."

Or perhaps I'm wrong? @AaronBallman You'd know more about it than I would. Are the `::Emit*Expr` methods going to generate more than a load and GEP for this?
